So, if you should happen to have the chance to spend your birthday at a Sock Summit or similarly knitting oriented extravaganza, may I just take a moment to recommend it quite highly. Yesterday, I started with a “second breakfast” befitting the occasion (cupcake held from a purchase day before, from Cupcake Jones),

did some crazy awesome swatching with Cookie A and ‘oddball stitches’,

then convinced fellow classmate Jane to come with me to split a hamburger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches (thank you, Brunch Box – we regretted nothing), then picked up knitter Johanna and stopped at the Saturday Market for ice cream.

Then I filled a notebook listening to photography wisdom from Franklin Habit,

joined with several hundred other knitters for a “super secret” (maybe not so secret) flash mob,

and then met up with a bunch of more knitters for dinner.

Thanks, knitters! Can we do it all again next weekend? I don’t think I want Sock Summit to end.

Sounds like the absolute best way to spend your birthday! Happy, happy birthday to you… I don’t think I have to wish you a wonderful day, since it appears you’ve already had it!
But I do hope you manage to gift yourself some very lovely birthday yarn as a present! ;)

WOW—what a great way to spend your birthday! We are all envious!! :) Thanks for these great updates for all of us who, unfortunately, are not at Sock Summit! It’s great to hear about what’s going on, and hope for even more details.

Happy rest of the year … What a great way to spend your birthday… thanks for all the pictures and thoughts… Sock Summit sounds wonderful…
About the “photography wisdom from Franklin Habit”… I would like to listen to his wisdom as well… how, where, do I find it? Is it on tape, is it a DVD?
Please let me know and thanks,
May
